Welcome Tom Brown

Just has that frame.

That poor centreing kick that he somehow turned into a 1:2 win was impressive stuff. Stopped what seemed like a turnover goal and gave us a chance going forward. They are the kind of things that win you finals.

Been a doubter on his selection, but really coming of age.

I've been his biggest doubter. Didn't see the role. But boy was I wrrrrrrroooonnnnnnn- Fonzie.

Sunday was a breakout game. He does the one thing I value more than most, kicking skills. Norwood oval is tight. No space. He made it look like the Savanna Plains by creating space. And was good in 1 on 1's. Am I, am I, am I a fan boi?

As Saul became Paul while converting on the Road to Damascus, I christen thee, 'Poop'.

Welcome aboard, son.

Toot toot. Band wagon filling up. Ticket sales are almost exhausted.

Let's hope class of 21 gets a few more bandwagons.

Brad Johnson still on the selection committee?
Harvey Gallagher (Footscary) was the nomination last week as well.

2024 selection panel: Kevin Sheehan (Chairperson), Nathan Buckley, Jude Bolton, Kane Cornes, Joel Selwood, and Abbey Holmes.

HS paywalled but I like the headline :)

The stats proving Tiger young gun is already one of AFL’s best kicks

The numbers don’t lie: Tom Brown is one of the AFL’s best kicks. But if you ask the Richmond young gun, he reckons he’s not even the best kick in his family.
Yep, saw that article. Bloody meedjia, kids only a handful of games into his career n they've already noticed n started pumping him up. Give it another couple of games n oppo coaches will start paying attention n tagging him off the back line.
 
Hopefully it’s the obligatory media article before the rising star nomination this week. I see Sam Darcy got it last week after some good pumping up by the media in previous weeks despite just average games.
 
Funny the change in attitudes to Tom from a lot of posters


it appears highly likely I was spectacularly wrong,

and I see the funniness in that.

but changing your mind when there strong evidence that you should do so,

doesn't seem funny at all?

it just seems good?

Where are the 100s of brown haters now ,are u relizing that when 3 clubs ,Geelong Sydney Melbourne all wanted him,then he must be a very talented player ,and understand that u part time watchers don't know has much has the experts who do this for a living.

im here.

and it appears I was extremely wrong. Im stoked.

there seem to be a few of us.

but your point isn't well made.

you are saying every draft bust ever, the experts who do it for a living were right?

opinions on a footy forum

'if you see dusty, you give it to him, its a no brainer' :love:

PRE - it's a crazy site at times. Overreactions everywhere.

3 games and 26 kicks in and he's now the second best kick in the AFL?

I had a hole in one once, I suppose at that moment in time I was the most accurate golfer on the planet?

I am enjoying seeing the new kids play wish we had a bit more luck with injuries as I think we really had/have a shot at finals this year.
